Sometimes a gift just falls in your lap. This month, it came in the form of an
e-mail out of the blue from Jared Nielsen, one of two brothers (the other
is J.R. Nielsen) who created The

They say you never forget your first computer. For some of us, it was a
Commodore 64 or an Apple IIe. For others, it was a Pentium 233 running
Windows 95. Regardless of the hardware, the fond memories of wonder and
excitement are universal. For me, I'll never forget the night my father
brought home our first computer, a Tandy 1000.<span class="read-more"><a href="/content/reglue-opening-world-deserving-kids-one-linux-computer-time"> more>></a></span></p><img src="//feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LinuxJournalEducation/~4/jKmAM7_TTVk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/reglue-opening-world-deserving-kids-one-linux-computer-time#commentsCommunityCool ProjectsEducationTue, 29 Jul 2014 15:11:57 +0000Brian Conner1338365 at http://www.linuxjournal.comhttp://www.linuxjournal.com/content/reglue-opening-world-deserving-kids-one-linux-computer-timeAlice, the Turtle of the Modern Agehttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LinuxJournalEducation/~3/4kL2WzhlUXQ/alice-turtle-modern-age

Many of us grew up with LOGO, the kid-friendly programming language that
guided a little turtle around a screen. Yes, it was simplistic. Yes,
it taught only the very basics of programming concepts, but it also
inspired an entire generation of programmers. The applications you run
every day were written by people who steered a digital turtle around a
screen in third grade.

for
doing research in the sciences. But one important area I haven't
covered in detail is the resources available for teaching the next
generation of computational scientists. To fill this gap, you can use

When I took Calculus in college, my Professor would give us substantial partial credit for test problems that we got wrong for minor arithmetic errors, and rightfully so, too. Sometimes even simple-sounding problems resulted in a full page, or more, of calculations.
